We have a SaaS solution hosted on Digital Ocean and for years CentOS provided a rock solid and efficient platform. With the demise of CentOS, as we knew it, I’ve got to move to a new Linux distribution. We tend to run single service machines, a proxy server, an app server and a database server with redundancy for each, so each machine has a pretty narrow focus.
Ubuntu seems popular on DO.
Rocky or Alma would seem similar to CentOS.
My first foray into Rocky was a bit of a shock with out of memory issue when using the same size droplets as in the past. Some reading suggests I need to tweak the number of services started to make the footprint more reasonable, but this isn’t something I had to worry about before.
My first foray into Ubuntu resulted in a locked up server (simple lamp stack).
My question to the DO community is where are we today with Linux and where do I invest my time. Are RHEL based distributions getting heavy under IBM leadership? I Ubuntu going to be a stable as the old CentOS?
